My own personal issue with it is that it can't be turned off... I use my 1212m in a studio setup routed into a 8/1 mixing board, I do not need to have a software... (read more)

Written on: 26/03/2008

Hardware is top notch...Included effects are POTENTIALLY top notch....The drivers and patchmix app are absolutly awful. So, until the issues are resolved this top notch chunk of hardware is little more than paper weight (but my fingers are crossed...waiting). (read more)
